Design and evaluation of skin friendly facewash tablet

The study aims to formulate and evaluate a skin-friendly herbal facewash tablet using Rubia cordifolia and Moringa oleifera. These plants are selected because they contain important phytoconstituents such as flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and phenolic compounds, which are confirmed through phytochemical screening. The skin brightening, anti-aging and antimicrobial properties of Rubia cordifolia root powder could be used for the treatment of various skin-related problems such as acne and hyperpigmentation. The vitamins present in the Moringa eaves, namely vitamins A, C and E, possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and are used for skin care. The face wash tablets that are formulated are analyzed for their quality and effectiveness through various tests. The parameters like weight variation, hardness, and friability are within the range, proving the quality of the face wash tablets. The antioxidant activity was also confirmed through the DPPH and FRAP tests. The antimicrobial activity was found to be good and thus the herbal face wash tablets are beneficial for skin care.
